The Government Of Canada Is Ready To Make Smart Work, Are You?

LAUFT, a leading provider of flexible, on-demand workspaces, has secured its largest contract to date with the Government of Canada. This contract grants government employees access to LAUFT’s seamless, flexible workspaces in the National Capital Region. LAUFT's tech-enabled network allows users to work from anywhere, making it an ideal solution post-pandemic. CEO Graham Wong emphasized that this win highlights the growing demand for flexible work options and enhances employee work-life freedom. Founded in 2017, LAUFT continues to expand its national reach in providing professional workspace solutions.

The RP5 Full Service Workplace Solutions initiative from Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is a critical program aimed at modernizing government workplaces across the country. As part of this initiative, PWGSC requires a mix of both owned and leased buildings and workspaces that can meet the evolving needs of federal government departments and agencies. The focus is on creating adaptable, high-quality work environments that can respond to the short- and medium-term demands of these organizations.

Unlike traditional government office spaces, these modern workplaces will be supplied, developed, furnished, maintained, and managed by private sector providers. This shift allows PWGSC to offer highly efficient, ready-to-use spaces while alleviating the burdens of infrastructure management and maintenance. By outsourcing these responsibilities, government departments can focus on their core objectives while accessing state-of-the-art workspaces that enhance productivity and flexibility.

The Full Service Workplace is particularly beneficial for addressing fluctuating workplace demands, enabling the government to quickly ramp up or scale down workspace as needed. This approach not only improves operational efficiency but also supports broader governmental goals around agility, sustainability, and employee well-being.

Ultimately, PWGSC’s RP5 initiative represents a significant step towards creating a more dynamic and responsive federal work environment. By partnering with private sector providers, PWGSC is positioning itself to meet the evolving needs of modern public service while embracing flexibility and innovation in its approach to workplace solutions.
